@JohnvHarrison I know that's the case, but surely North Korea realise that America could destroy the whole country 10x over without breaking a sweat?

surely they don't care. If they were able to nuke California or something and got killed as a result they would give no fucks. Look at it from a suicide bomber's perspective. Look what 911 meant and still means to most of the country. That kind of impact is what they care about. if they can go down in infamy as THAT guy then that's all they want. I don't think North Korea believes that they could be a superpower in the world just by having a few nukes. Their aim is definitely different.

obviously north korea doesn't stand a chance against us alone but if iran gets nukes they will become allies and if thats happens others could join them, maybe china. we would still be more powerful but it would be to the point that we wouldn't really want to fuck with any of those countries and could definitely impact the way we handle foreign relations in the future(could be a good or bad thing). at the end of the day nukes serve more as political leverage than actual weapons these days.

North Korea is like that nerdy annoying kid, that was low-key stupid as fuck despite the nerd image, that kid who wouldn't shut up or follow social ques. You all remember that kid. North Korea doesn't phase me, and on the off chance they might hit a lick its whatever.

hypothetically, if an actual nuke from n. korea really does hit the states, then WW3 will definitely commence

Definitely not. I highly doubt China or Russia have their backs on this one. Kim is just trying to flex tbh.

The only reason we haven't put them down is because there is still, believe it or not, civilians that live there. They don't ask to be born in NK, nor do they ask to be brainwashed by a tyrant. They may follow him blindly, but that's just a situation that they were born into.

Imo, I have no idea why they're even doing this. They have to have an alternative motive that we don't know about. This is what I think. If they even try and start it up, this is what's gonna happen. They're gonna launch a nuke and it's either A, not gonna make it, or B, get taken down by one of our MDS in Guam or on the West Coast. We literally have generals begging to use these missile defense systems. They want a taste of what these things can do.
